< Genesis 3 >
1 Now the serpent was more shrewd than any of the wild animals which God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"
Sed et serpens erat callidior cunctis animantibus terrae quae fecerat Dominus Deus. Qui dixit ad mulierem: Cur praecepit vobis Deus ut non comederetis ex omni ligno paradisi?
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Cui respondit mulier: De fructu lignorum, quae sunt in paradiso, vescimur:
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"
de fructu vero ligni, quod est in medio paradisi, praecepit nobis Deus ne comederemus: et ne tangeremus illud, ne forte moriamur.
4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,
Dixit autem serpens ad mulierem: Nequaquam morte moriemini.
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Scit enim Deus quod in quocumque die comederitis ex eo, aperientur oculi vestri: et eritis sicut dii, scientes bonum et malum.
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
Vidit igitur mulier quod bonum esset lignum ad vescendum, et pulchrum oculis, aspectuque delectabile: et tulit de fructu illius, et comedit: deditque viro suo, qui comedit.
7 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. So they sewed fig leaves together, and made coverings for themselves.
Et aperti sunt oculi amborum: cumque cognovissent se esse nudos, consuerunt folia ficus, et fecerunt sibi perizomata.
8 They heard the voice of God walking in the garden during the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees of the garden.
Et cum audissent vocem Domini Dei deambulantis in paradiso ad auram post meridiem, abscondit se Adam et uxor eius a facie Domini Dei in medio ligni paradisi.
9 So God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"
Vocavitque Dominus Deus Adam, et dixit ei: Ubi es?
10 And he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; so I hid myself."
Qui ait: Vocem tuam audivi in paradiso: et timui, eo quod nudus essem, et abscondi me.
11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"
Cui dixit Dominus: Quis enim indicavit tibi quod nudus esses, nisi quod ex ligno de quo praeceperam tibi ne comederes, comedisti?
12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
Dixitque Adam: Mulier, quam dedisti mihi sociam, dedit mihi de ligno, et comedi.
13 Then God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."
Et dixit Dominus Deus ad mulierem: Quare hoc fecisti? Quae respondit: Serpens decepit me, et comedi.
14 So God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, cursed are you above every tame animal, and above every wild animal. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
Et ait Dominus Deus ad serpentem: Quia fecisti hoc, maledictus es inter omnia animantia, et bestias terrae: super pectus tuum gradieris, et terram comedes cunctis diebus vitae tuae.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."
Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius: ipsa conteret caput tuum, et tu insidiaberis calcaneo eius.
16 And to the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Mulieri quoque dixit: Multiplicabo aerumnas tuas, et conceptus tuos: in dolore paries filios, et sub viri potestate eris, et ipse dominabitur tui.
17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Adae vero dixit: Quia audisti vocem uxoris tuae, et comedisti de ligno, ex quo, praeceperam tibi, ne comederes, maledicta terra in opere tuo: in laboribus comedes ex ea cunctis diebus vitae tuae.
18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the plants of the field.
Spinas et tribulos germinabit tibi, et comedes herbas terrae.
19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
In sudore vultus tui vesceris pane tuo, donec revertaris in terram de qua sumptus es: quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris.
20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
Et vocavit Adam nomen uxoris suae, Heva: eo quod mater esset cunctorum viventium.
21 And God made clothing out of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Fecit quoque Dominus Deus Adae et uxori eius tunicas pelliceas, et induit eos:
22 Then God said, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. So now, let us send him out, lest he reach out his hand and also take of the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
Et ait: Ecce Adam quasi unus ex nobis factus est, sciens bonum et malum: nunc ergo ne forte mittat manum suam, et sumat etiam de ligno vitae, et comedat, et vivat in aeternum.
23 Therefore Jehovah sent him out of the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
Emisit eum Dominus Deus de paradiso voluptatis, ut operaretur terram de qua sumptus est.
24 So he drove out the man; and he stationed the cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Eiecitque Adam: et collocavit ante paradisum voluptatis Cherubim, et flammeum gladium, atque versatilem, ad custodiendam viam ligni vitae.
